Ep. 12: Visual Supports

In today’s episode, I want to discuss the topic of visual support. It’s a subject that has gained a great deal of attention lately, and I’ve noticed that many people have been downloading the guide available on my website, which explains how to create visual supports at home.

So, I’ll begin with the basics: What are visual supports? These are tools that present information visually rather than relying solely on verbal communication, and they can be especially helpful for children. I’ll then explain why we use visual supports.

Autistic children, who often thrive on structure and routine, benefit significantly from visual support. I’ll explain how these tools can help them navigate their day more independently and serve as a helpful reference when they forget what comes next.

I’ll also cover how to create visual supports, using simple and practical steps. And finally, I’ll talk about where to place visual supports to ensure they’re most effective and accessible.

So, let’s dive straight into today’s episode!
